The Cow

Jugu Abraham

The film stuns you. Forget Iran, forget the cow. Replace the scenario with any person close to his earthly possessions and what happens when that person is suddenly deprived of them and you will get inside the characters in this film, just as Fellini, de Sica or Sen demonstrated in their cinema.

Mic in Port

This film illuminates and confounds in equal measure as it rides a fine line between a neo-realistic drama and a satirical and hallucinatory social criticism. By the end of the film you know the town as well as its inhabitants; you see how the individual affects the whole, how the sacred aligns with the profane, you see murkiness of intentions and collective wisdom, all stuck together by the axis of a man's breakdown
